A Failure, and Why.
from Washington Progress.

1t is with much regret that we chronicle
the fact that the State Normal, now in
session in this town, has so far proven al
most dead failure. There has been no
effort on the part of our public school
teachers to avail themselves of the ad-
vantages offered by this institution, and
so far as we are informed no blame can be
attached to them for failing to do so.
There has been in attendance upon each
of the preceding Normals, and also the
present one, class of people who have no
earthly interest in the proceedings. They
are not teachers, and never expect to be,
yet they manage to monopollze the time
hioh should be devoted to the instruction
of our public school teachers, for whose
benefit the Normal is supposed to be held
That cause for complaint in this direction
has existed no one will deny, but until re-
Gently it has not found expression in
words. However, it is now generally recog-
nized that the funds appropriated for Nor
NAL purposes are being expended i'll a
manner from which the intended bene-
ficiaries derive no benefit.

Black Rot in Grapes.

The black rot struck some of the vine
yards in the Salisbury section. the Watch

who lost his entire crop last year by this
disease. took the alarm in June and had
resort to a sprinkling or spraying process,
using a weak solution of dissolved blue
stone and ammonia, to arrest or prevent
the spread of the disease. The result was
far from satisfactory. On some of the
varieties of grapes treated, the Concord
for instance, there was no perceptlble
effect On other varieties, the Delaware
and Norton's Virginia, the effect was dam
aging; on the latter, notably so, destroying
both foliage and fruit. Fortunately, his
experiment was limited to only a part of
his crop, so that his loss will not be serious.
The Agricultural Department at Wash
ington published, a year ago, all the in
formation that could be gathered, from
California to Michigan on the subject of
this disease, together with the various
remedies and preventatives that had been
tried, and it is a surprising fact that only
two of these are mentioned as reliable.
One of them is, bagging the fruit punches
paper bags when the berries are about
half grown the other, carefully gathering
up the diseased berries as they fall, and
burning them, or burying them eight or
ten inches in the ground. This last meth
Cd is to be kept up from year to year, as
long as the disease shows itself, about
three years being required to destroy the
germs which produce the rot.

Guard Against Typhoid Fever.
From Statesville Landmark. I

k.I
We believe that any good physician
will bear US out in the statement that
ninety nine out Of every hundred cases of
typhoid fever are due to some removable
cause. 1t is dependent upon filth, bad
drainage, impure air and impure water.
Men can no more reap good health from
these conditions than they can gather
grapes Of thorns or figs of thistles. 1t is
not typhoid fever alone but a great train
of diseases that follow in the wake of bad
sanitary conditions. The majority Of the
acute diseases to which flesh is heir are
preventable. How important, then, that
attention be given, at least in hot weather,
to the laws of sanitation. All fecal mat
ter should in particular be covered up or
disposed of; left exposed to the fierce rays
of the sun it breeds pestilence and death.
No animal or vegetable matter should be
allowed to lie ald decay in the sun. All
foul odors, from whatever cause arising,
should be traced to their source and the
cause removed. Wells should be cleaned
out frequently and the water kept sweet
and pure. When all these things are
done, when people have taken the ordi-
nary precautions for the preservation OF
health, the sun may beam down never sc
fiercely and the atmosphere be never SC
still; we may suffer from heat, we may
undergo considerable personal discomfort,
but there is not much occasion to feal
disease.

The Cause of Cyclones.

From The instability of the Atmosphere,
by \. 5. Shaler, in Scribner's Magazine
for August.l
In cyclones We find the largest manfes-
tation of that energy by which the -upelz
heated lower air whirls upward from the
earth through openings which it has re
in the higher cooler layers. In its funIa.
mental cause the cyclone is essentially Ike
both the lesser classes of whirls, the ,iU-t
whirls and tornadoes, but the field of its
work is vastly greater, though the energy
which it exercises at any one point Is less
The conditions which lead to the formation
of a cyclone are as follows: IN those
heate ed portions of land aud sea where the
circumstances permit the ar 10 IT imam
for long time undisturbed, it becomes
very warm and charged with moisture;
the hotter it becomes the more moisture 1t
contains, and the less it permits the heat
radiating from the SURFACE TO pass through
its texture; at the same time the upper
air, deprived of its usual share of radiant
heat, becomes abnorma!ly cold; finally, as
in the dust whirls and tornadoes, the lower
air breaks through the upper and rushes
toward the sky. Although at its begin
ming a cyclonic storm is probably OF no
greater size and of much less ascending
force than a tornado, there are several
reasons which make its history different
from that of the smaller Whirls. In the
first PLACE, the field of heated air which
causes the cyclone is far more extensive
than that which produces the tornado,
though at the same time the difference of
temperature between the upper and lower
air may be less. The greater bulk of the
lower stratum of hot and moist ar permits
the cyclone to grow larger, bnt the less
ascensional force of the lower air makes 1t
rather less violent in its movements.
AS soon as the ascending current brings
a portion of the heated air from the sur
face into the higher level it expands, and
the force, originally in the form of heat,
which kept it in the state of vapor serves
to increase the ascending column just as
much as would the direct application of
heat sufficient to yapori.e the water Thus
we have two sources of force to impel the
air in the cyclone upward. Both these
forces appear in the tornado, but there the
original heat of the lower air is the princi
pal cause of the motion.

How the Ratcatcher Works.
from New York Times

1t is sight to see the 'ratcatcher" ar
rive at the hotel at midnight He does
not register and generally enters by the
side or servants door, He carries bulls
eye lantern and a bag in one hand, or he
may strap the light to a belt, while in the
other he wields a pair of tongs. He de-
scends to the lower regions of the larder,
the storeroom and kitchen, all now dark
and deserted. The ratcatcher utters a
low whistle or squeak, which is the init
nation of one rat to others that he has
found good nibbling, and all the rodents
run out from their hiding places in the
direction of the familiar and welcome
sound, and dazing them by the glare of
the lantern, the man picks them up with
his tongs and drops them into his bag with
such agility that seldom any escape.
Blinded and paralyzed by the light, only
the isolated ones attempt to run, and these
are readily captured. The ratcatcher visits
the hotel once or twice week, and the
same one is employed by several houses.
1t is whispered that he sells the rats to the
Chinese restaurants, but he denies the in
sinuation. He says he sells the hides,
which he properly cures and stretches.

North Carolina imperatively demands a

The foreboding is now heard that though
crops may be abundant this year they will
not sell for their worth. Then hold them.
Wheat and corn will keep and can be used
next year or the year after, when there
may be 4 crop failure. Cotton and to-
baeco will also keep, and while as : rule
it is best to sell these crops whenever they
are ready for market, the farmer whose
debts are not pressing him had better hold
them than TO sacrifice them. There IS no

hours a day, inasmuch as he himself has

all his life. have heard this kind of talk all
my life and don't think it is fair as against
the working men. The work of Mr. Hewitt
has been solely directed to his own interest.
There was inspiration behind it. That OF the
ordinary toiler is a weary grind from which
he can hope to derive but passing benefit.
There is wide difference, therefore, between
the two cases. And another thing Ii in
working as he has Mr.. Hewitt has violated
the laws of health, fail to see how his in
dustry is praiseworthy. And the same is
true if his close application has caused him
to neglect his social duties and the civilizing
amenities of life Temperance is a good
thing in regard to work as well as in the mat
ter of drink or anything else. And the Cos.
pei of overwork, if it were generally adopted,
would work almost as much injury in the
long run as a gospel of idIeness. asbing-
